Little action has been taken to clean up pollution caused by oil production in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region, either by the government or Shell Oil, Amnesty International and other groups charged Monday.

A BRAINSTORM session was designed by the Media For Justice Project (MFJP) with an aim of dicussing possible ways to compel the FG to implement the recommendations contained in the UNEP report. The constant non implementation of the report can be likened to the passing of a death sentence on the people of the Niger Delta. We Must continue to advocate for its implementation in 2014... Together we Shall prevail.

Shell has manipulated oil spill investigations in Nigeria, with the company’s claims on oil pollution in the region deeply suspect and often untrue, said Amnesty International and the Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development (CEHRD).
